Peak Index

Cowdale - Topo

1. J.L.N.O.E (7b+) * Short but steep and powerful crux. Low in grade.

2. Much Monkey Magic (7a) ** Sustained crackline. Pumpy and a little awkward. Can be damp in humid weather. High in grade and not a warm up.

3. Otto di Catania (7a+) ** Great climbing with a supercharged crux or a one-arm pull up.

4. Blazed but Amazed (7b+) * You will be by the crux and even then its not all over. A very awkward to work out bulge.

5. The Philandering Sons of Magic Women (7a) Powerful start, awkward crack and airy finish rights and just plain strenuous for good measure.

6. A Wild Man from Way Back When (7b) * Sustained climbing with a hard start and a reachy central section. A fine fingery climb.

7. Duelling Biceps (7a+) * A great name but out of theme, if you the theme that is. A strenuous and quite airy little pitch.

8. A Woman in Wellingtons (7b) Very short and powerful bulge. High in grade.

9. Wet Yer Whistle (7b+) * Very hard bulge after tricky start. Just plain strenuous.

10. The Main Motor Mile (7a+) ** The original classic of the crag. A difficult low crux and then just army. Better since the loss of a poised block.

11. Pingham's Route (7c+) ** Leaning wall, big roof and more to come.

12. Laughing at the Rain (7c) *** One of the best short routes in the Peak. A very hard start and then jugs and finger-locks to the top. Overhangs 6m.

13. Mesmerized (7b) ** The big hanging corner with a hard entry from the right.

14. You Know UFOs (7a+) * Direct from start of Mesmerized. Powerful.

15. Euphoric (7a) More powerful climbing but gentler above the roof.
